Susan Swanson of The Stepfamily Center interviewed about stepfamily life
I just listened to Susan Davis Swanson’s interview with parenting author Joe Bruzzese about stepfamily life. Susan, director of The Stepfamily Center in Beverly Hills, had lots of smart observations and helpful suggestions. Among them: stepmothers, feel free to step out for some fresh air, time with friends, and personal rejuvenation when his kids are around; and remember, conflict and struggle are inevitable facts of stepfamily life, not signs that you, your marriage, or your stepfamily are a failure.

I must say, politics and religion bring out the best and also the bad side in people. The best because both can result in people being extremely altrusitic, the worst as both can result in incredibly obstinate and difficult behaviour. I’m not critising you, your comments just made me grasp this, so thankyou for that.
